Empty Words lyrics

I've been lonely, feeling far away,

listening to the things that people say.

They've made an art, a big display

of saying the same old things the same old way.

Empty words I've known so well,

useless tales that people tell.

They sing the same old melody,

empty words to me.

I spend my day drifting through

endless streets and avenues.

All the shops are having sales

of empty words and fairy tales.

Empty words I've known so well,

useless tales that people tell.

They sing the same old melody,

empty words to me.

In the city or in the town,

empty words fill the day.

People talk, but it don't really matter

'cause there's nothing much to say.

Empty words, they fill my mind.

I'd like to leave them all behind,

then they wouldn't bother me.

Empty words, empty words.

Empty words, empty words.

Empty words, they fill my mind.

I'd like to leave them all behind,

then they wouldn't bother me.

Empty words, empty words.

Empty words, empty words.
